Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Korean Application No. P2002-68142 filed on Nov. 5, 2002 and Korean Application No. P2003-00556 filed on Jan. 6, 2003, which are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an LCD monitor, and more particularly, to a touch screen mounting assembly for an LCD monitor.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- As computer systems have become more advanced, computer monitors are constantly being redesigned to be thinner, lighter, and smarter. One of the most recent technical developments in computer display technology is the touch screen. In general, the touch screen is a device that detects user's touch inputs by fingertips or an object (e.g., stylus for PDAs) and sends the detected information to a data processor, which receives the information and performs the necessary data processing functions.
- In general, the existing computer systems having a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor with a touch screen use three different ways of detecting the user's inputs through the touch screen: pressure detection, heat detection, and light detection methods. In the computer systems employing the heat detection method, when a user touches a portion of the touch screen, the temperature of the touched portion changes. Then a processor detects such temperature variation and performs the necessary data processing functions using the detected information.
- A touch screen LCD monitor typically includes a touch screen, font cabinet, adhesive tape, LCD module, and rear cabinet. The touch screen is often attached to the rear side of the font cabinet by the adhesive tape, and the LCD module is fastened to the front surface of the rear cabinet. Then the front cabinet and the rear cabinet are joined together by screwing the edge portions the rear cabinet into the corresponding portion of the front cabinet. However, when the LCD monitor having such structure is on severe impact or used for a long period of time, the touch screen is often loosened and dislocated within the monitor. Therefore, more secure attachment between the front and rear cabinets is required.
- In addition, if the front cabinet has one or more defects, then it is extremely difficult to replace the front cabinet because it is adhesively attached to the touch screen. Removing the front cabinet from the rear cabinet may cause the touch screen to be greatly damaged. Therefore, it is desirable to have a touch screen LCD monitor, in which a touch screen is secured within the monitor without any adhesive attachment with the front cabinet.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a touch screen mounting assembly that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a touch screen mounting assembly for an LCD monitor, in which a touch screen is tightly mounted and is properly located within the LCD monitor.
- Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

The rear cabinet may include a pair of fastener supports provided on top and bottom edge portions of the rear cabinet. On the other hand, the front cabinet may include a pair of slip fit fasteners, which may have slip fit connections with the pair of fastener supports, respectively, for preventing the front cabinet from becoming disengaged from the rear cabinet. Each fastener support may include a first extension member extended forward from the corresponding edge portion of the rear cabinet, and a recessed channel provided on a surface of the first extension member. In addition, each slip fit fastener may include a second extension member extended backward from the corresponding edge portion of the front cabinet, and a detent, which may have a slip fit connection with the recessed channel.
